Glazing silicone in Shackleford
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints.
In a village or hamlet like Shackleford, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

What affects the quote in Shackleford
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight isn’t always the sealant. We check which it is.
Do you need glazing silicone in Shackleford?
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Schools such as St Mary's CofE Voluntary Controlled Infant School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is VAT in the price?
- What guarantee comes with the work

Is it messy?

Which silicone is used for glass joints?

Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We remove the old silicone carefully before cleaning and resealing.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Glazing silicone in Shackleford: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Wanborough Manor (about 2.1 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Shackleford has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you let a flat or house near Godalming station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
